EXPLANATORY NOTES ON AGENDA ITEMS

Financial and other reports

The Company is required by the Corporations Act to table the Financial Report and the Reports of the Directors and the Auditors on the Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2013. Shareholders are not required to vote on these Reports but will have an opportunity to raise questions on the Reports and on the performance of the Company generally at the meeting.

Resolution 1 - Election of a director (ordinary resolution)

Mr Nazer retires as a director in accordance with the annual rotation provisions of the Company’s Constitution. Mr Nazer, being eligible, offers himself for re-election to the board.

Resolution 2 – Remuneration Report (ordinary resolution)

The Corporations Act requires listed companies to make expanded disclosure in respect of director and executive information. As a result, the Directors’ Report must include a section called the “Remuneration Report”. This report is set out on pages 75 to 81 of the Annual Report. Additionally, the Act requires listed companies to put the Remuneration Report for each financial year to a vote of members at the Company’s annual general meeting.

Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the annual general meeting and then again at the 2014 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution at the 2014 annual general meeting proposing the calling of a further general meeting to consider the election of directors of the Company (a “Spill Resolution”).

If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of a Spill Resolution, the Company would be required to convene a further general meeting (the “Spill Meeting”) within 90 days of the 2014 annual general meeting. All of the directors who were in office when the 2014 directors’ report was approved by the directors, other than the Managing Director, would cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as directors is approved would be the directors of the Company.

EXPLANATORY NOTES ON AGENDA ITEMS (continued)

In summary, the Remuneration Report:

• (a) explains the principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration of Key Management Personnel (“KMPs”). The KMPs are the persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and Group and comprise the directors of the Company and certain executives of the Company and Group;

• (b) sets out details of any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of KMPs;

• (c) sets out the remuneration details for KMPs of the Company; and

• (d) sets out the particulars of short term and long term incentives and key employment terms of the relevant KMPs.

Noting that each director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

KMPs details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report and their closely related parties are prohibited from voting on Resolution 2, except in the circumstances described in the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the meeting.
